Sunday is a special day. Former Christian communities have the Jewish celebrated as a Sabbath day of rest on. However, they have given him a wider significance. Thus the Sunday for the "first day of the week" and he was also named Lord's. Sunday we went to church fasted and prayed, not standing.
In the early centuries there was no day off for the purposes of the 3rd Commandment ("Remember the Sabbath day holy"). So for the Sabbath and Jewish communities of Christian communities was the Lord's side by side. In early Christian documents we find the arrangement to work in five days.
The five-day week has stood for a Christian origin
The focus of Sunday in the Christian view the celebration of the resurrection of Christ. Emperor Constantine declared Sunday a 321 legal day of rest. On this day, no court could negotiate, and no verdict will be enforced. At a later date all services have been forbidden on that day, so that slaves could attend church services. At about 700 with the mission of the Germans was also banned by the free citizens to work on Sunday. Thus replaced, the West final Sunday in place of the Jewish day of rest.
